I-Tetrahydrofuran (THF) iwuketshezi olungenambala, oluguquguqukayo olunephunga le-ethereal noma i-acetone futhi luxubene emanzini nasezincibilikilweni eziningi eziphilayo. Luvutha kakhulu futhi lungase lubole ngokushisa lube yi-carbon monoxide ne-carbon dioxide.Ukugcina isikhathi eside lapho uthintana nomoya futhi uma ingekho i-antioxidant kungabangela i-THF ukuthi ibole ibe ama-peroxides aqhumayo.

I-Tetrahydrofuran isetshenziswa ekwenzeni ama-polymers kanye namakhemikhali ezolimo, ezemithi, kanye nempahla.Imisebenzi yokukhiqiza ivamise ukwenzeka kumasistimu avaliwe noma ngaphansi kwezilawuli zobunjiniyela ezikhawulela ukuchayeka kwabasebenzi kanye nokudedela imvelo.I-THF iphinda isetshenziswe njengesinyibilikisi (isb., ukufakwa kwamapayipi) okungase kuphumele ekuchayekeni okubaluleke kakhulu uma isetshenziswa ezindaweni ezivalekile ngaphandle kokungena komoya owanele.Yize i-THF ikhona ngokwemvelo ephunga lekhofi, kuphizi ophekiwe, kanye nenkukhu ephekiwe, ukuchayeka kwemvelo akulindelekile ukuthi kudale ingozi enkulu.
